I've used China Glaze before and have never had any issues with it. Until now. And it's not a huge issue, but for me, it's an issue.
I bought this purple "Creative Fantasy" because I love purple. And this looked <in the descriptions' photo> exactly like the color of my Dodge Charger, so I had to get it! I wasn't sure if it was going to be a Matte or Shiny, because of the photo.
I got my polish yesterday and today I did my nails. I took photos so you could see what the polish looks like after each layer.
So here goes...before I start, I have to say it was hard taking photos that showed what it truly looked like. And...the clear shiny stuff on my cuticles is that stuff you paint on to keep the polish off of the skin.<I really stink at applying nail polish!> I also applied a layer of clear base coat. <I don't want my nails turning purple!!>
This is what i used...https://smile.amazon.com/PUEEN-Cuticle-Barrier-Protector-BH000584/dp/B016LIABMQ/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1508195189&sr=8-3&keywords=latex+nail+polish+barrier
The 1st two photos show the first layer of polish on both hands. You can see it's super thin, and kind of matte looking.
The next 2 photos show the 2nd layer of polish on both hands. Still hard to show how matte it really is...it's not a "true" matte - it just looks like there's a "film" on the polish....it's definitely not clear and shiny.
Next 2 photos are with 3 layers. Yes, I had to apply 3 layers so there weren't any lines in my polish...see-through lines. This polish is not consistent.
The next 2 photos show a clear glossy top coat. You can also see that I peeled off the skin barrier <in a little pink blob at the top of the photo.
I took all of these photos inside, in my living room, with normal lighting. You can see how dark the polish looks. Not what I was looking for, but it's still a pretty, dark purple. I went outside in the sun, and took 2 more photos so you can see what it looks like outside. Those are the last 2 photos - you can see this is a VIVID purple.
So, I had to apply a base coat, 3 layers of Creative Fantasy purple, and a clear glossy top coat. It took forever!!! I took 1 star away because it shouldn't be this hard to get the color of nail polish you thought you were getting...and it shouldn't take so long! Also, the fact that this is not a glossy nail polish...I'd say "Semi Gloss" at best. I don't like Matte nail polish...I don't know why - I just don't.
I can't say if this chips, or how well or how long this will "wear" because I just applied it today <October 16>. But I will come back and update in a week or two...with photos.
I will keep this because it is a pretty purple, but I will give "We Got The Beat" a try as that says "long lasting shine" so I know that's a gloss polish...and maybe another color or 2.

I do recommend (no matter the brand of nail polish you use) to get some cutical oil or any essential oil for use on skin. Once the nail has dried to the touch we all know it hasnt actually cured which is why we end up with gouges or go to bed and end up with creases in our polish. Apply the oil and it will help keep the polish looking perfect while it completely dries.
I'm very happy with the color. It's exactly what I wanted. However, I'm very disappointed in the lacquer itself. As others here have commented, it is thin and leaves streaks even with three coats. No matter what I did, I had to apply four thick coats just to get even coverage. At least it dries quickly and is never tacky, so I could keep putting on the coats without waiting any length of time between them.
Worse than the coverage, however, was how quickly it began to crack and chip off! I hastily applied a top coat, but that only prolonged the wear for the rest of the afternoon. I decided to try using a base and top coat next time. Not much better. Even over a base coat, three coats still looks streaky. And while it's not cracking yet, it's still starting to flake off around the tips after only having it on a few hours (and I've been easy on it)!
While I still adore this color and will keep wearing it (for however many hours I can at a time), I wish I had bought another brand (like NYX or Essie, which have very similar colors), or waited until some cheaper drugstore brand comes out with it. That way, I'd expect it to be cheap for what I'd pay for it. I was not expecting this from of a supposedly salon-quality line! As excited as I was to get this new color, I'm very disappointed with this product.
